Film Noir Poetry

I’ve written a script/poem that uses only classical-era film noir titles for words, making it arguably more referential than a Tarantino screenplay. Punctuation and formatting has been used to manipulate the meaning, but there should be no added words. See if you can follow the story and recognize all the films. (I’ve by no means seen them all myself!)

You don't even want to know.The worst part was finding out that blogspot forcibly eliminates any white space that it considered unnecessary and silently removes several punctuation types. I had to rework things just to get it to show up reasonably close to my original vision.
